What's New

Boardwalk

  Well, it was time to start a new project for hand-work in the evenings. You know that I like hand-work projects that take a long time and I do believe this one will not disappoint in that regard! This is Boardwalk from Treehouse Textiles in Australia. Oh, how I love Emma's designs! I'd bought the starter kit from Treehouse, which provides approximately half the fabric needed for the top, and it was very enjoyable to go through my scrap bin to find other pieces that seem to have a similar vibe.  Today I cut all of the elements for the first two blocks. Got them into individual baggies and then thought, what the heck, and went ahead and cut the shoulders for the remaining 23 blocks. Boardwalk season at the Jersey shore will begin in about two months and run for four. It will likely take that long to piece this big guy. Thinking of The Drifters and their great hit "Under the Boardwalk." I just looked it up and found it was from 1964!
